Gossip Regarding the Appointment

WASHINGTON, April IA friend of
Editor Henry, of the Redtield Dispatch, de-
MES the rumor that Mr.. Henry has been so
chagrined in the matter of the pOstotfice
appointment at Redfield as to recalcitrate.
He said that, while Henry is simon-pu
Democrat and publishes Democratic
paper, and felt that he had reason TO eX
pect the appointment at that place. he is
not going to change his political opinions
nor affiliations because of his dSappOint-
ment. The gentleman says:
Henry has been publishing Democratic
paper ever since he became of age. He APP
piled for that Office and would have been APP
pointed but for the hostility of NJ. H. Day.
FOUGHT the man who was appointed, is inter-
ested in the Redfield Dispatch, Republican
paper, of which Clifford private secretary is
a part owner. He had friends who were
Days friends, and reached Day through
them 1t is not believed that he paid Day for
his services; but it is known that Day at one
time promised Henry the place, and suddenly
changed his mind and advocated the claims
OF FOUGHT. No one knows why. Rising, the
man who was removed, was an old Mime

into power at Washington. Rising moved 10
Redfield and started the Sun. He then ap-
piled for the postmast ershp and got it.
Villas held him in because ne had been an old
soldier as long as he could; but the Demo-
Gratis urged action until it became necessary
to make the removal. There were many
charges preferred against Rising, and they
were finally acted upon. He continued to
publish Republican paper after the new ad-

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Before leaving
the city Gov. Church announced his inten-
ton of returning within few weeks. He
said he had personal and official business
which would bring him here. He also eX-
pressed the opinion that the administration
will not daily much longer with Republi-
cans holding presidential offices in the ter
ritory. Notwithstanding the clemency
shown them. they are as bitterly partisan
as ever and obstructionists to the admins
tration. 1t is not because of a disposition
to turn the rascals out so much as to place
executive offices in the hands of friends
that the administration has decided to move
i'll these matters. The governor expressed
the most kindly feelings towards the older
Democratic leaders of the territory. and de-
MED the statements concerning eStrange-
ments between himself and Mccormack,
Day and others. He was non communica-
tive as to his intentions, but gave the i'm
preston that it is his disposition to show all
possible favors to those who are inclined to
be malcontentS; yet he does not seem

themselves to be prejudiced against him be-

contact with him have found him to be a
gentleman and fair man. Many of them
nave buried their prejudiceS and are work
ing with him to make the administration of
territorial affairs success. Some few will
not do so. 1t will be his policy to give
them no grounds upon which to hang their
complaints, and to win their cooperation
by all manly and honorable means. But if
is not to be expected that man with an
iron will can become a small trucker for

WASHINGTON, April 15.-George w.
Hopp, editor of the Brookings Press. lately
bounced postmaster of Brookings. writes to
friend here: Il do not know how the
people will vote in November. but l expect
them to vote for division. For my own
part l am somewhat Indifferent to the re-
suit. What want is admission. No matter
whether it be as one state or two; but adj
mission we must have To lose that would
break my heart" That is the word of a
Republican. He does not allow the national
supremacy of his party or its subservience
to- swerve him from the one point of adj
mission. There are many like him
in his party in the territory.
Inc people are not so anxious
for division as the aspirants for the house
and senate would have the general public
believe. The sentiment for division, the
sentiment of the Campbells. Mellettes. and
all that ilk, are not the accepted and author

WHETHER for division or admission as one
NJ the greatest states, geographically, it does
not contribute to the good hunor of the aver
age Dakotau to have the little borough of
Nevada thrown up as an excuse for the nom
admission of Dakota or delay, based upon the
fact that oDe-third Of the states have larger
population than the territory has just yet
There is no eXigency that dema nds a new
standard to be set UP for Dakota-one not
thought of in connection with the other terri
tories, none of which have half the popula-
ton of Dakota. In fact, if Dakota was
smaller, and not likely to get much bigger, it
is suspected there would be less quibbllng

TERRITORIAL TOPICS.

UNLESS there is great change in the ap-
parent popular disposition the vote on divi-
sion or admission with the present geograph-
cal limits, provided by the late legislature
to be taken in November, will only be full
enough TO have value in those counties where
here are exciting local questions to draw out
the voters. There is widespread Indifference
Oh the subject, and quite common feeling
that whatever expression may be had in the
territory the interests of political parties at
Washington and in the country at large will
control action. While the vote viii not COM
pei acquiesence among the powers in whose
hands is the decision, it will be blunder to
make it so meager as to leave the opportu-
nifty to claim that there is no emphatic senti-
ment in regard to the statehood question. A
half million people are rarely more nearly
unanimous upon any controverted point than
Dakota is in desire for admission among the
states. Material interests are involved in
this, especially in reference TO the school lands,
and hardly voice is heard in favor of the
continuance of the territorial condition. About
the only objection raised to action at Wash
ington upon the claims for admission has
been that the expressions were so conflicting
that it could not be told what the real senti-
meut Of the majority was. 1t is now accepted
by every shade of opinion and every faction
that the vote in November, if reasonably full
shall be the voice of the territory. Whether
for division or unity, il will be conclusive,
and the kickerS will not be numerous enough
TO be heard. The political leaders in both
parties in the national councils who only
waited TO know what Dakota wanted. will
hardly find other plausible excuse for delay
and the national campaign, which will be
taking shape during the next session of con-
gress, neither side will care to embarrass by
an untenable position IN regard to the great
territory. \ strong, emphatic vote in No
yember then will be likely to accelerate the
movement towards statehood. 1t will not
give the new state vote in the next presi-
dental election, but its membership in the
slsterhood of states Will be fully developed
before the next president is inaugurated. II
the autonomy of statehood is a boon to be
eagerly desired, the only opportunity that
has ever been afforded the people to give any
sort OF authoritative expression of their
views cannot wisely be ignored or neglected
The aggregate vote cast will reasonably be
taken as a measure of the statehood senti-
nent, dis well rs an indication of the popula-
ton and growing development OF the terri
tory. Even where there is indifference as to
whether there shall be one or two states, the
inducements to swell the vote would seem to
be sufficient to make the largest possible
showing.
